After a year the kid though becomes more independent, but still requires a lot of attention from parents and, first of all, from mom. It is necessary to communicate as much as possible with the child, to play joint games, but, unfortunately, house affairs demand time too and just to relax and it is useful for mom to have a rest a little sometimes. There is also a question - what to occupy with kid that it was not boring for it to one?
There are several checked options, than it is possible to carry away the child so far mom is engaged in affairs.
- Take for the rule to divide toys into several parts and to remove, giving them on one party only a toga, when necessary. So toys will not manage to bore the child and he with interest will play every time in them as in new.
- Get, so-called, ""wonderful box"". Put there small, but safe knickknacks - various lids from baby food, multi-colored rags of fabric, unnecessary jewelry, small toys (for example, non-demountable figures from the kinder surprises), jars from the used cosmetics, etc. If at you the little fashionista grows up, then the box can be replaced with an old bag or a make-up bag, it will be so even more interesting, girls often imitate svy mothers. The main rule - such ""wonderful box"" should not be constantly in full view of the child, give it only as necessary, otherwise it will quickly bore the kid.
- Kids, and especially babies, very much like to dress up therefore the usual package of clothes can interest the little dandy or the fashionista for a long time. Especially various headdresses - hats, caps will please the child, hats - he by all means will want to try on them especially as the kid will already be able independently to make.
- Cartoons - a lifesaver for most of parents. Having included the child the animated film or the developing presentation, it is possible to go about quietly the own business, the child literally ""sticks"" to the screen. However, despite convenience to parents, you should not abuse this reception, at the one-year-old child the visual device and the long time spent in front of the screen is not completely developed, can negatively affect sight of the kid. Therefore you should not allow the one-year-old child to watch animated films longer than 15 minutes a day.
- Small children very much like to tear paper therefore the old magazine or just a toilet roll for a long time will occupy the kid. Only you should not give to children of the newspaper since for their press lead which can do harm to a children's organism is used. And, of course, it is impossible to leave the child with paper alone - the little researcher will surely want to taste it, will try to thrust into a nose or ears, and it is not safe.
- After a year the kids with pleasure collect small objects in big capacity, for example, in a box with cuts or in a usual plastic bottle. It is possible to collect details from designers, large buttons, etc. But, besides, it is necessary to remember that small objects are not safe for the child therefore, going about the own business, do not leave the child unguarded.
- At the age of 1-2 years children very much like to imitate adults therefore the kid with enthusiasm will be engaged in ""adult"" affairs. If you need to make a lunch, then the child can allocate a pan and a spoon, let him ""prepare"" too. The child can similarly predlozhi help to wipe dust or to wash the floor. So you not only will occupy the child, but also will impart to him a habit to help adults about the house.
